Media Player Classic is a compact media player for Microsoft Windows that looks and feels like Windows Media Player 6.4 It's small and lightweight, but it supports many video file types. Media Player Classic integrates most options and features found in modern media players, including support for:

Changes:- two pass bicubic shader, bilinear more optimized- dropped subtitles are loaded instead of opening themas a media file- thumbnail image generator- dsm demuxer can output individual streams intofiles (context menu -> demux...), the raw data iscorrected if possible, like subtitles are outputto srt/ssa/vobsub, frame header added to aac, waveheader to pcm, etc.- better support for quicktime files by the mp4splitter, more track types are recognized and alsoreads zlib compressed headers- dvd navigator's software dvd region check is disabledusing the detours lib, there is still a hw regioncheck built in the firmware of the drives, unless itwas flushed with a region free firmware it will stillnot work and may cause strange problems like freezingthe player- the mpeg ts splitter can repack h264 streams in "mp4 style" packets for decoders so they won't crash (ffdshow, coreavc)- "next aspect ratio preset" command- yv12/i420 is no longer a disallowed format whenusing "vmr9 (renderless)" as the renderer, holdingthe ctrl key when loading a file will still disableit, the current display drivers should not have thatcolor conversion bug anymore but just in case...- vmr9 (renderless) mixer mode available, it allowsdeinterlacing and other vmr9 features, off by defaultbecause it is slightly slower- Haali's video renderer can be directly selected inthe options (subtitling works, shaders don't)- mpeg decoder sse2 optimizations (most noticable athdtv resolution), optional interlaced output, new"field shifter" deinterlacing mode- nero's "vobsub" inside mp4 supported- clicking another window on a different monitor whilempc is playing in fullscreen will not restore it tonormal size anymore, if another application grabs thefocus, its name and window title will be displayed onthe status bar of mpc- graph builder of the filter graph manager was rewritten(again), let's hope nothing is more broken than it was :)- new built-in async reader for udf sources, currentlyonly works with the internal mpeg splitter becauseothers aren't prepared for constantly growing files,use the following syntax as the file name:udp://[]:/[],where "multicastgroupip" is optional and "mediasubtypeguid"can be used to specify the subtype of the stream, forexample udp://:1234/{e06d8023-db46-11cf-b4d1-00805f6cbbea}means transport stream, it will also work fine without the subtype, just selecting the right splitter will take a little longer- the checked state of the "enable subtitles" menu itemis preserved, this means you can disable subtitling withthe vmrs now without having to turn it off for each newlyopened file- floating toolbars are saved, next time mpc opens theywill appear floated and at the same position on the desktop- normalizer/booster was moved to the audio switcher, toavoid high spikes lowering the volume too much thenormalizer regains 5% per second now- "quick open file" menu (similar to vlc's)- options/filters section was redone a bit, the internalfilters have their own property pages, mpc won't becontrolling them directly anymore- there is a changelog this time! :)
